Nicaragua : Ex-Post Impact Evaluation of the Emergency Social Investment Fund
The Emergency Social Investment Fund
(FISE) ex-post impact evaluation, is one of the first to be
carried out on a social fund since the introduction of these
mechanisms, a decade ago. Through strong impact evaluation
methodologies, the report provides empirical evidence
regarding FISE's success in reaching poor households,
and contributing to their human capital formation, and
provides as well, insights into communities interactions
with FISE, and the quality of publicly provided social
services that have received a FISE investment. The
evaluation makes use of data sources, such as the Living
Standards Measurement Survey (LSMS), FISE Household Surveys,
and FISE Facilities Survey, as well as from the qualitative
beneficiary assessment, instruments which allow an
integrated evaluation on assessment of poverty targeting,
and household impact. Based on social sectors results,
recommendations for FISE operations, its work with others,
and its monitoring system, suggest increased community
participation at the subproject level, including a revision
on the balance between social sector infrastructure
investments, and, replacement, rehabilitation, and expansion
of existing infrastructure. FISE's coordination with
other institutions should be strengthened, to forge stronger
community links, and, to balance decentralization, and
strategic planning, while complementing infrastructure
supply, with demand-side interventions, through direct
household contacts. Finally, the link between LSMS and the
FISE evaluation should be maintained, to compare alternative
interventions, strengthening monitoring and evaluation activities.
